10. (Someone from the No. 48 team): “…but all we gotta do is be in at least 12th by race 26 — right?"
9. Chad Knaus: “I do my best work when I’m not allowed at the track.”
8. (Someone from the No. 24 team): "Well, we hired this new kid, see — Shane Hmiel, I think his name was — to work on the suspension…"
7. Jimmie Johnson: “I'm the reigning back-to-back Champion. You'll have to ask my agent.”

2. Junior (waving a pair of checkered flags): “Hey, boys! Look what I found this past week! How many y'all got? What's that? I can't heeeaaaar you…"
